Forget the machines, and use free weights. Go for 8-12 reps, if you can do more than that, increase your weight. For a full body workout you can try: squats (with a barbell) launges (with dumbells) dumbell curls skull crushers chest press deadlifts Google them or you tube to see proper forms.

30DS is a bit different, it's mostly strenght... I dont want to sacrifice my performance in weightlifing... Might just give it a go and see how it goes :/

Thanks :) I'm not really looking to increase my strenght (maybe a little), I weighlift to preserve muscle, as long distance running tends to burn a lot of muscle mass... And I would do insanity in the morning, gym in the evening... The problem I have is whether my muscles will get enough rest with both insanity and…

These are awesome!

It's most likely water weight. Exercising causes muscle to retain water. You cannot gain fat while in a calorie deficyt. So watch your sodium, dring plenty of water and hang in there. It will come off. Pay more attention to the way you look, not how much you weigh. Also, eat back some of your exercise calories. It will…

^this, but to specify, you CAN build muscle when on a calorie deficit when (according to Tom Venuto, author of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle): you are a beginner to lifting weights you are coming back after some time off you are genetically gifted Otherwise, you need to choose what you want more, lose fat or build muscle.…

bump :bigsmile:

Nothing possitive? Well, it makes people happy... thats positive, isn't it?

Nice and light? I squat 65kg at best!

Run 13.2 miles (half marathon distance) in freezing temperature (-5 Celsius). Never run that far before and now I'm hurting!!!

Got to bump this... I tried to be cocky and do chest press with too heavy dumbells (12kg each) - it fell of my chest while everyone was watching! Had to go and put it back and get a lighter one... :embarassed:

The UNHEALTHY way of doing it is to cut your calories a lot and do no exercise. Like a fad diet, with little protein. You will lose muscle then. I did that a year or so ago. Was it worth it? Hell no. And it will come back as soon as you start exercising again. Another way is just learn to love your thighs. I have muscly…

Body weight exercises, push ups, squats, lounges etc. Or have a look at P90X or insanity. They are good =)

Cz lettuce and moisture dont mix. Ever had a soggy salad? Thats why you always put a dressing on at the last minute.

June 24th, my first one. I'm shooting for under 4hrs, but I'll be happy if I can just finish it. I'vw got a long way to go as the furthest I can run atm is 8 miles. So only 18.2 more :sick:

My first marathon is in June. So yeah, a runner here! Any tips greatly appreciated!

Mine set to 40/25/35 (c/f/p), but in reality is about 35/20/45 =)

Peterborough! =)

Water! I started drinking about a gallon of water a day about 4 weeks ago. Used to have really bad cellulite. Yesterday my husband asked "what is cellulite?" and i said "I'll show you", but I couldnt, there was nothing there! The best NSV ever! So yeah, water, water, water!

that made me lol :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Drink 2-3l of water a day. That will help. And avoid sodium. =)

What I've been told is that to be able to run long distances you need fuel, ie calories, especially carbs. A lot of them. And that running burns muscles so you might end up "skinny fat". And that running increases you appetite so you end up eating too much to lose weight. I've also read some articles saying that some…

Thank you thank you thank you for this! I stopped my half marathon training as my trainer told me I wont lose weight whilst long-distance running. Putting my running shoes on now! :drinker:

You obviously have a good mum. My husband hates my mum, and to be honest so do I. And my sisters. And all our family. There are mothers and there are mothers. To the OP, dont give her money because you feel guilty. She is the adult, not you. And it has been my experience that bad people always end up ok. No matter what.…
